My condolences on your loss.I have been following this tread with amusement for quite a while...so I guess it was time to ad my own entry...glad to be able to add another tile to the mosaic, hehe...Last week I found my old Bama hat from when I was in high school...I think I bought it in '77 or '78...its was so fragile that it didn't survive being removed from the old duffel it was stored in...had to give it a proper burial.
